I disagree with Guns, Germs and Steel. Diamond makes lots of claims that seem dubious to me. E.g. says zebras seem vastly harder to tame than horses. But you would have to compare against the early wild horses, obviously! We have no reason to think zebras are harder.
Only got 1:40 or so in but the guy makes cogent points. Unfortunately he chose to present them in audio form which has a very high bar for me to be willing to sit through vs a written essay.

the sources he uses are here: https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2019/05/05/guns-germs-and-steel-sources/ … whenever you have the chance to sit and watch the whole thing, I suggest you try. The best refutation of of the book imo.
